Sensorineural deafness inherited as a tissue specific mitochondrial disorder.
We present here a large Israeli-Arab kindred with hereditary deafness. In this family 55 deaf subjects (29M, 26F), who are otherwise healthy, have been identified and traced back five generations to one common female ancestor. The deafness is progressive in nature, usually presenting in infancy and childhood. Audiometry on six deaf and seven unaffected subjects was consistent with severe to pro...
متن کاملInherited Connective Tissue Disorders of Collagens: Lessons from Targeted Mutagenesis
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the cell structural environment in tissues and organs. The ECM is a dynamic structure that it is constantly remodelled. It contributes to tissue integrity and mechanical properties. It is also essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis, morphogenesis and differentiation, which it does, through specific interactions with cells. The ECM is composed of a mixture...
متن کاملEvidence for a NOD2-independent susceptibility locus for inflammatory bowel disease on chromosome 16p.
Heritable predisposition to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been demonstrated by epidemiological and genetic analysis. Linkage of IBD to broad regions of chromosome 16 has been established by analysis of multiple populations. NOD2, located on proximal 16q, was recently identified as an IBD gene. As the linkage regions on chromosome 16 are large, we have investigated the possibility that NO...
متن کاملInherited risks for susceptibility to dental caries.
Dental caries incidence is affected by host factors that may be related to the structure of dental enamel, immunologic response to cariogenic bacteria, or the composition of saliva. Genetic variation of the host factors may contribute to increased risks for dental caries. This systematic review examined the literature to address the question, "Is the risk for dental decay related to patterns of...
متن کاملInherited susceptibility for aggressive prostate cancer.
Whether or not there is inherited basis for prostate cancer aggressiveness is not clear, but advances in DNA analysis should provide an answer to this question in the very near future.
